Before: the test scenario asserted two cases: that a missing dependency triggers error; that a similar name includes a suggested correction. After: the test scenario asserts one case: that a missing dependency triggers error. Motivation: similar names already have dedicated tests, cleaning this up to provide more clarity on intent of the tests.
…cenarios. Refactor test and split into two to make it clear what scenario does it verify. Assert looks the same between the two tests, but the setup is different: - testByNameDependencyWithSimilarTargetName verifies typo in dependencies between modules within the same package. - testByNameDependencyWithSimilarProductName verifies typo in dependencies on a product from a different package.
Before: occasionally swiftpm suggested dependencies which aren't accurate, since it looked for global list of modules for matches, while actual depedencies are on products. After: swiftpm suggestions now search through - local modules - global products - package-specific products if explicit package is used in the deps Motivation: inaccurate suggestions which made me distrust swiftpm.

Correct "Did you mean XYZ" messages when a dependency is not found.
Motivation:
I found that "Did you mean XYZ" messages quite often aren't helpful. Specifically, scenarios which I found very frustrating:
Scenario 1:
.product(name="Awesomeness", package="MylibKit")Did you mean '.product(name="Awesomeness", package="MylibKit")'. I triple-checked what it suggested vs what I had, and after some staring, I checked MylibKit and indeed, it was missing a product definition. It was pretty frustrating that it errored out with suggestion which clearly wasn't working.Scenario 2:
"Awesomenes", making a typo.Did you mean 'Awesomenesswith correct spelling."Awesomeness".Did you mean '.product(name="Awesomeness", package="MylibKit")', and it's pretty frustrating why it didn't suggest it in the first place.Modifications:
Result:
